Aisha Haider - Welcome to my gallery. I was born in Lancashire in England. I am a self taught artist and have been painting ever since I can remember. I paint in acrylics because of its versatility. Painting has always been a strong part of my life and it is who I am. Painting is an unquechable addiction that I get immense pleasure out of. I paint in an impressionistic style using a little bit of inspiration that comes from nature whilst adding my own elements too. My painting are mostly vibrant and modern. My favourite subjects are umbrellas, reflections and trees. I am very fortunate to have sold over 500 paintings in the Uk and 5 other countries. I hope you enjoy looking at my work and find something to your taste. aEURoeAs music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sightaEUR James McNeil Whistler...

Jeff Turner - Pop Surrealism, a term introduced by the artist Robert Williams. It has its origins in the 1960's underground comicsaEURtm culture. The origins of Pop Surrealism referenced the underground world of toys, comic books and other egalitarian art forms. More recently, it has combined those with fantastical and dream-like subject matter. Like the artist Kenny Scharf wrote to describe his own work, "Surrealism is about the unconscious, and I feel my work is about the unconscious. The images come from the unconscious except that my unconscious is filled with pop imagery. My unconscious is pop, so therefore the art would be Pop-Surrealism." Check out Juxtapoz or Hi Fructose magazine to learn more about this art style. As for me, I am an artist and an avid lifelong learning practitioner. Areas of focused attention center on Epistemology, Jungian Psychology, mythology and world cosmologies. Artistically, I identify with the Surrealists creative process; automatism. AndrA(c) Breton, the founder of Surrealism, defined surrealism as "Pure psychic automatismaEUR. According to Wikipedia,aEURAutomatic drawing was developed by the surrealists as a means of expressing the subconscious. In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move'randomly' across the paper. In applying chance and accident ...

Ovidiu Kloska - I cannot imagine how one can possibly see behind this work how much time and effort it took for me to develop this unique space that defines me now. I have discovered angels when I almost got drowned three times the same summer and I pray every time at dawn for God to exist. I have discovered real art in Iasi galleries an in the art albums from the second-hand book seller on Lapusneanu street. I have started then sleeping on pillows smelling like linen, with canvas on the walls and under the bed. I have never eaten paints, though in the first grades I drunk the water for the aquarelle. And here I am, young, continuously wandering and dedicated, sending invitations to an imaginary park for preserving the soul. Most of the plastic themes used, the symbols and shapes included in my work, are taken out from a reality spoiled by time, and then they are reshaped in a special way in my opinion. The most important theme is the wall. Constantly fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique way, by projecting a sway of mind, a mind performance with neurological circuits. This is my aEURoe...
